Inspirational Story

By: Christopher Batista

I used to have a friend named Christian who used to always be down and he looked up to me because of how I'd always get through all the bad things so easily so I would always help him and lift him up when he needed it, one day he wanted to end his life and i stopped him and he seemed to get better because me and him started talking and hanging out all the time

A few years later once he became a junior he started to get depressed again but because of girls and because of his grandfather’s and his grandmother’s passing. At this point me and him haven’t talked in forever and I’m happy he came back, when he came back, he told me that he always admired me and that he needed my help again, with his problems but then I told him he doesn’t need me, all he needs is faith and he listened to me and lived a better life.

Years later It was his last year of highschool and I came to see him all the way in Florida and gave him a hug congratulating him, he then thanked me for everything and giving him the confidence to keep going all these years. I can’t wait to see what he does with his life next and would love to be the best man at his wedding.

I am 16 and my name is Chris, and grew up in Sayreville, New Jersey with just my mom, I've always really kept to myself and wasn't one for being social, I wrote this story to show people to never give up because I know how rough life can be, I've been helping a lot of people for years, mostly my friends because I know what it is like to be down that road and not have anyone to go to so that's why I like being there for other people so they know they're not alone and should never give up because people do care.
